About

If I could colour the whole world with beauty, I would…

I believe in believing.

Intentionally leaning towards the beauty in life, searching for the essence, and thriving to intentionally inspire and build those around us by what we discover...

I am a South African mixed media portrait artist, living in Auckland, New Zealand, with my husband and three boys. Creating art has been part of my life since the day I could pick up a crayon.

My studio is at home, always smelling like a mixture of incense sticks and turps. By combining loose and spontaneous marks, with carefully rendered realism, I explore the freedom in authenticity. I enjoy bringing my boys into the studio with me, bouncing from their joyful, spontaneous energy, and being inspired by their free-spirited and venturesome confidence in creating without rules or boundaries.

I love to believe my art has more to it than just the aesthetic value. May it inspire, encourage, uplift and build all of those who perceive it.
